I would like a good pdf viewer preinstalled. I think #! (where I just came from) had Evince, though could be mistaken. I thought it was pretty decent, but when I checked yesterday, I seem to recall it had hefty dependencies. So, whatever pdf viewer is economically feasible in your disk image. I have not yet researched this fully but ... I view a LOT of pdfs.

zathura is pretty popular with people that have to work with a lot of pdf's - but it's mostly keyboard driven: http://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/Popular with the tiling wm crowd.

epdfview and xpdf have fewer dependencies than evince; but less functionality.

Not arguing for any to be installed by default; just pointing out other pdf options - all are in the debian repos.

It ROX! Seriously speaking it has many features that can make life inside terminal easy. And you can configure ROXTerm with different options and save the configs as different profiles and switch between them on the fly. More info here,http://roxterm.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=guide&lang=enCheers!!!

Thanks for the feedback on pdf apps. I don't want to hijack this thread and turn it into a pdf viewer thread, so I created another thread for comparing pdf viewers in light of their built in functions, dependencies, and configurability. If it is of interest to you, go check it out.

As for Roxterm, I have done a little reading and it seems pretty capable. I'm still not sure why it seems to be so popular here and elsewhere, other than configurable keybindings maybe. That in itself is pretty cool, especially since the keybindings don't have to have vim-like/tmux-like keybindings (that activation key business is kinda tedious imo). I'll play around with Rox...

Warning necro bump. Wanted to thumbs up Roxterm. I have always been a terminator guy but finding I use Rox more and more all the time. It's one of those things that rarely closes on my dt anymore. OK this thread can go back to sleep now.

Interesting seppalta will check that out. I had been looking at NotablePDF which is a chromium extension. I actually like it because most of the PDF's I am editing are docs from legal/Acctg/Banks and such that I don't want to do much but sign and fill. I really hate PDF in the whole but it's a necessary evil I guess.

Nice little app, needs libnotify (should be installed by default) and libnotify-dev to compile. Like all things from the suckless crowd, edit the config.def.h file - basically select the thresholds you want, and the command to execute when battery is low (dangercmd[])
